Where is Peter Bardens? I voted for Rick Wright, instead.

Out of this list Eddie Jobson. Dave Stewart should have been on it, it would have been a dead race between him and Jobson then.
A nice anecdote: I went to an Eric Burdon concert once with Brian Auger on keyboards, and during the concert the guitar player broke a string in the middle of a song, and Auger quickly reacted and filled the time until the guitar player had put in a new string with a completely improvised solo. That's professionalism!

I guess technically it might be Moraz, or Francis Monkman given his classical training. I read that Patirck Moraz injured his right hand when young (he recovered fully) during which time he learned to use his left hand as the "lead" (if that's the right term), hence he can go very bloody fast!!

Technically it has to be Patrick Moraz, but I'm a big
fan of Jon Lord and Dave Greenslade and,
increasingly, Brian Auger (I'm currently working my
way through his extensive back catalogue).

Colin Towns of the Ian Gillan Band is another
unheralded keyboard king.

Moraz has wrote some excellent songs as has Rudess.

whoo ... really tough one for a keyboard lover ... I went for Patrick Moraz on technical grounds, with Kerry Minear and Gryphon's Richard Harvey not far off,

For pure enjoyment, Jon Lord, The Door's Ray Manzarek, VDGG's Hugh Banton, Canterbury icon Dave Stewart and Camel's Peter Bardens would have to battle it out ...
